BALL-BEARING.

EFECEFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 331,899, dated December 8. 1885.

Application filed November, 1895. Serial No. 182,065. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known ,that I, JoHN M. MARLIN, of New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Imp rovenientin Ball-Bearings,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to ball-bearings for shafts; and it consists in certain improvements in the ball-bearings shown in the Letters Pat1 ent granted to D. K. Hiclrolc, April 24, 1865, No. 54,156, andto D. II. Rice, July 2l, 1885, No. 822,482, substantially as hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l is a side vieuT of the ball-bearing constructed according to my improvements. Fig. 2 is a transverse section ofthe same upon the shaft on lines Z Z ofFig. l.

S is the shalt, havingl a groove, s, made around an enlargen'lent upon it to receive the balls, as shown. D is one member of the ball` bearing, and E is the other member, having inclined faces 011 their interior ci renin lerences, which, when joined together, forni a groove to receive the balls, as shown. b b are the balls held between these inclined faces and the faces ofthe grooves inthe shaft. b b are the screws used to draw the parts D and Etoward each other to adjust the bearing, b2 is the gagering screwed upon the outer circnxnfen ence of the part E, as shown, and against which the face oi' the partD abuis to regulate the distance to which the screws are to be set up, as described in the saidforrner Letters Instead of having this gage-ring sun Patent.

an annular countersink Within the part E of the bearing, and form a corresponding annular projection, d, upon the part D, which enters Within the said countersinlc and lits the saine snugly, substantially as shown in the patent of said Hickok, except that the Wall of the countersink in my bearing meets the inner inclined ball-bearing face of the part E,instead of being outside of the latter. I thus retain the parts D E in transverse position,and construct a bearing which is adapted to be adj usted to diiierent sizes of balls with greater facility than that of Hickok. I am also enabled to make the outer case of the ball-bearing by this means *somewhat smaller in diameter. The part Enf the bearing has a projection, e, upon it, to permit it to be attached to the frame which supports the bearing.

That I claim as new and of my invention In a ball-bearing, the combination of the bearing-ring E, the gage-ring b, the bearingring D, constructed with the portion d, projecting within a countersink in the part E, which meets its inclined ball-bearing face, and the adj Listing-screws b b', substantially as described.
